Here's a LO I did of a baby photo of Isla. The title is Year 0, cause she's only 6 months in the picture.
I am entering this in the Challenge Heaven word challenge. The details are here
I used Graphic 45 papers, buzz and bloom felt, american craft thickers, kaiser pearl strips, kaiser pearls, papermania paper, magnolia doo hickey flourish and leaf die cuts and you can see 6 of the Emerald Faeries, which are the creations from my friend Deb. You can see them here in her shop. They are so cute
She also has a challenge on her blog, where u can win some digital images of these stamps. Check it out here
Im reasonably happy with how this turned out. I should have used a black and white or sepia photo, but it was the only one i had.

INTRODUCING........................

Willy and Mia
I'm really happy with how this LO turned out. I used Bo Bunny patterned papers, and some that I don't know what brand they are :(. I also used prima packaging, flourish with a bling vine, american craft thickers, carolee creations alpha stickers, DCWV rub ons, kaiser rub ons, brads, prima clear dot, and I made the flowers out of a dress making pattern. I coloured Willy and Mia using Copics and Stampin Up markers. Aren't they adorable.

and meet........................

Isla
And on this layout of my Isla I used the Isla Emerald Faerie image, 2 cute Isla's :) For this LO I used kaiser patterned papers, prima pearl flourish, kaiser embellishments, american craft thickers, making memories glitter alphas, and I also used the tag from one of the Kaiser embellishment packs. The felt flower was made by Amanda Taylor (think it was her ). I thought it suited the layout really well. I coloured the Isla image using copics and stampin up markers.
In order to win the blog candy you need to a leave comment on all the blogs on the blog hop and be a follower of all the blogs. Now head on over to Sammi B's and check out her gorgeous creations.

Butterfly Kisses
Im really happy with how this LO of Isla turned out. I used a chippy butterfly as a mask with some purple glimmermist and I also used bo bunny and kaiser scraps, papermania journal pad, kaiser felt alphas, chippy flourishes, doily, butterfly button, leaf ribbon and the beautiful purple flower made by Chris at born2create.ning.com


Family Ties

I really loved this LO that I did using a pack from Lisa ( i think). just love the colours and they go so well with the photo. I used a prima flourish, kaiser flowers, dress making pattern (to make the base under the orange rose), small wood sticks (i made the fence from), kaiser alphas, lace, sheet music, kaiser rub ons, hambly screen print rub ons, monopoly card, butterfly button and and coredinations card stock
Please girls go to 2 sleep
Took me a while to get this LO right, but it turned out ok in the end. I think the patterned papers came from a kit (from Lisa again). I used prima flowers, kaiser flowers, kaiser pearls and rhinestones, american craft thickers, kaiser alphas, carolee creations alpha stickers, kaiser embellishemnts, chippy tag, crocheted doily, papermania journal block and hambly screen print and kaiser rub ons

Ive had this maroon paper sitting in my stash for ages. So i was glad when i got a chance to use it on my first day of school LO. I also used some kaiser scrap pieces of paper, prima packaging, chipboard piece from an album that i bought, blue onion bag type material from a mcdonalds happy meal toy, small magnifying glass from an xmas bon bon, heart buttons, kaiser flowers, lil red rocket button and i used a heap of leftover rub on alphas on some navy card. The LO didnt turn out as well as i would have liked. But i always struggle doing school photos.
